Stafford Springs, CT — Stafford Speedway and First Niagara are teaming up to help victims of the recent Massachusetts tornado. As part of the First Niagara Independence Day Fireworks Celebration this Friday night, Stafford Speedway will be collecting donation items at the main gate that will be used to assist Massachusetts residents who were affected by the tornado.

Stafford Speedway is offering a special deal for fans who bring a donation item with them to the track this Friday night. Any adult who brings a donation item with them to the track this Friday night will receive $3.00 off an Adult General Admission ticket for the First Niagara Independence Day Fireworks Celebration.

“We’re happy to be partnered with First Niagara in this relief supply endeavor,” said Stafford COO/GM Mark Arute. “The Monson, Mass. area is very close to home for us here at Stafford. There are a lot of fans, drivers, and crew members from that area that come to Stafford every Friday night and we’re happy to be able to do a small part in helping those who are in need of these supplies get back on track.”

While Stafford Speedway will serve as a drop point this Friday night for relief items, donations can be made at any time at any of the following First Niagara branch locations: Stafford Springs, Willington, Vernon Tri-City, Vernon, Storrs, Ellington, and Tolland.
